[mivec25]

[Viperzep]

[vette1963]

This was composed by Harold Faltermeyer and the guitar was played by Steve Stevens.

[tjguzik68]

@vette1963

exacly :)

[Spamazoid]

This is the original u tosser.... Eddie would be putting endless additional notes in there that make bugger all sense but sound cool

[john0763]

Anyone who knows Eddie can tell its him playing immediately.......THIS AINT EDDIE

[toddrocks24]

stupid ass noob

[GomerSexual]

it is Steve Stevens who played with Billy Idol in 80's

[TheZebo50]

Aint Eddie....tone all wrong...its Steve Stevens...who is a awesome guitarist the equal of Eddie....if it was Eddie, he'd of been double tapping by now within 30 seconds of the song starting.

[theePhanboy]

Theme was done by Steve Stevens.

[Aleksi32]

If this is Eddie Van Halen, I'm Napoleon Bonaparte.

[andrewstartrekmario]

@Aleksi32 Oh my god! Look! It's Napoleon Bonaparte! ;)

[psaunited]

425 people do not know Steve but like the sound!

[benchmat]

Nah, this is Steve playing..... Eddie won't do this note for note as Steve's :D

[MarkZoom95]

lets end this once and for all ... whos song is this really

[Chris782546]

It's not Steve Stephens - it's a collaboration between Dave Davies and Jeff Jefferson

[mirrorriver30]

I actually know how to play this epic song

[jebtorres]

Sorry, elbronco80, but this song was played by Steve Stevens, former guitarrist to Billy Idol and a whole lotta bands since the 80's.

[kludgeon]

Bill Williams can do it better. ;)

[MrROTD]

no way man this is friggin lil wayne

[KenVH5150]

Sounds more like joe satriani

[evander5150]

@KenVH5150 it's not Eddie, and it's not Satriani. It's Steve Stevens .

[ScrabbleGirl74]

You guys are a bunch of bullies! You could just simply tell the person, it's not Eddie Van Halen. Can you be more rude?

[Motleyiceman1]

It was Steve Stevens, guitar player from Billy Idol...the coolest dudes in rock!!!!!!

[EntitySeventySeven]

The person who put is up is a super moron, for real, lmao!!!

[MAVR1CK1975]

For the last 25 years people have been saying this is Eddie. LOL It's not, if it is, then someone was clearly discredited. Best song EVER. VAN HALEN still ROCKS!

[cpslim2000]

I always thought Jewel did this song....

[MAVR1CK1975]

@cpslim2000 HA! MEEEE TOO!

[quik876]

yeah, sorry guys, but Steve Stevens DID this with Harold Faltermeyer

[Murphdogg4]

this is not Eddie...take it down BEFORE I DROP YOU WITH A BOOT THE FUCKIN SKULL

[bozomonkey2007]

NO DUDE!!!!

[MrRob8254]

this is not Van Halen ya Fuckin Retard. Remove this video and make the fix. Strop being stupid.

[MrJefferson30]

Essa música arrepia (pode ser antiga mas dá um friozinho na barriga na espinha)

[MetalisMental]

steve stevens!!!! this sounds nothing like eddie

[Nubias]

Why even make this kind of blunder,take it down,it's cool,but you can hear that it the Eddie,with all the fire in his playing,this is a insult.

[spunkybrewster1972]

I loved Ed's solo albums with his band, Eddie and the Atomic Playboys. Steve Stevens WISHES he was in that band.

[Maxx61]

Next up....JUMP, by Billy Idol.

Lovin' the newbs.

[macanudo1808]

años 80??

[Zakieold123]

Its Steve but man I honestly think it sounds a lot like Joe Satriani

[Ometopada]

No, NOT Eddie.

You think it`s Eddie because you illegally downloaded some Van Halen music and this song was titled Top Gun Theme - Eddie Van Halen. I know, i got that same song and i thought the same thing. haha

[psaunited]

STEVE STEVENS!!!

[ravinryan004]

Damn, I got excited to see an Eddie cover of this song, but alas! it's just Steve Stevens. Oh well.

[Leviskardsen]

There's plenty of videos of Steve Stevens playing this.

[NedeljkoStojkovic]

Steve Stevens - Top Gun Anthem O;-)))

[broitsjessicaa]

Eddie Van Halen Best guitarist ever

[swirleynoise]

lol

[Fattious]

If this was Eddie the band would have broken up by now.

[helckler]

This should be my country's hymn XD

[riaiaikido1]

That is definately Harold Faltermeyer on the pic. I've seen him live many times. My fave song is Jump.

[promocoable]

@riaiaikido1 Jump is played by eddie van halen retard and the guy on the picture is fricking eddie

[riaiaikido1]

@promocoable Eddie Van Halen is NOT a retard in my opinion.

[Leviskardsen]

@riaiaikido1 Well played, good sir.

[EnemyDown619]

@riaiaikido1 that eddie van halen on the pic retarded

[elvisdustin]

If Eddie wrote this it would have tapping every 5 seconds

[cobgod101]

Its not EPIC enough to be EVH

[seabroify]

clearly not eddie lol only requires on hand on the frets :P

[MajorDDD]

Eddy Van Halen???? not you´re wrong!

[johnnybeane]

So is this Eddie Stevens?

[manosemd]

STEVE STEVENS!!!!at least change the name!!!!

[bigGaza1]

ITS STEVE STEVENS LOL WHAT A DUMB VIDEO

[lorenzocc00]

For the other lives

[Jay78m]

If it was Eddie it would be a hell of alot better. Eddie is the best in my book.

[prwhitaker1]

C'mon guys. Top Gun is one of the best movies of all time! It is Joe Satriani.

[AtAtaylor]

it even says Steve Stevens under the like/dislike bar. Seriously guys...

[bcancun123]

@AtAtaylor hahahahah major fail

[Juom3n]

@AtAtaylor Por que se corta al final.

[diegoast]

IS STEVE STEVENS..NOT Eddie... do you remenber billy idol..?. he played in his band in the 80´s .....ahh He also played with michael Jackson---"dirty Diana"

[asdasfqw3]

eddie van halen... who the fu(k is stevie ???

[rowag001]

@asdasfqw3

""Top Gun Anthem" by Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens – 4:12 "

Go and look on Wikipedia yourself, or any soundtrack album -.- epic noobs...

[ouz1997]

@rowag001 What Wikipedia?? :)

[rowag001]

@ouz1997

Wikipedia has a 24 hours blackout atm

but if you want to see you can look at IMDB on soundtracks.

[Affirno]

@rowag001

Can't look at wiki right now bro.

[rowag001]

@Affirno That's what i said?...

[ParadiseDungeon]

@rowag001 steve vai, joe satriani, eddie van halen, steve ouimette got a version of this song

[rowag001]

@ParadiseDungeon

But this ain't it so. This is Steve.

[ParadiseDungeon]

@rowag001 Yes this is Steve version.....BTW you know what guitar did steve used to play this?

[rowag001]

@ParadiseDungeon

I think it was the Hamer The Steve Stevens II but i'm not 100% sure

[ParadiseDungeon]

@rowag001 Thanks :D

[rfclazetarfc]

Steve fu...n Stevens :))) Legend

[pblomgren]

Is it me or is it cut off at the end? .. anyway, Steve made a masterpiece here :-)

[TheMOSEPH]

Steve Stevens....NOT Eddie. Why does everyone think this is Van Halen? It doesn't sound like Ed's style AT ALL. The solo alone should be enough to tell people it's Stevens.

[omahablackrose48]

If memory serves me right(I am 42 yrs old btw) Eddie Van Halen rocked out back in 1984 or thereabouts; Top Gun was made in 1986. I doubt Eddie Van Halen would have done the fuitar intro. And yes, I have the CD in my room. It says Steve Stevens ad FZero2daMAX says...if anyone is uncertain, wiki it or go to imdb and find out for yourself.

[FZero2daMAX]

This is Steve Stevens, not Van Halen. Sorry, dude, but the title is inaccurate.

[voyager73]

@FZero2daMAX I agree this is Steve Stevens work ,not eddies. kool song eddy is kool too

[FZero2daMAX]

@voyager73 I don't know much Van Halen, but what little I do know is insane!

[AnnaAnnaYes]

Eddie could play this,but this is'nt him.And i bet you already knew,you

just wanted to start something.Give Steve Stevens the credit due him!

[Gabby9292K1]

This is Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens' Number. It's Exactly like the Movie. I agree with someone's post that Eddie could play this with no problem, & I think the same of Satriani as well. But No. This is NOT Eddie.

[joshep901]

THIS THEME IS ORIGINAL BY EDDIE VAN HALEN !!

STEVE STEVENS AND JOE SATRIANI ARE COVERS !!

[mungobrass]

Good for you Steve Stevens and nice pic of Eddie elbronco80. Enjoy it for what it is.

[mungobrass]

Who cares, good for you Steve Stevens and nice pic of Eddie elbronco80. Enjoy it for what it is.

[martian76smiley]

It was indeed Steve Stevens who created this masterpeice, but I'm sure that Eddie VanHalen would have no trouble playing along!!(luv em both)

[broncosrb26]

Steve Stevens

[mattt50]

its joe satriani

[Tujuparandaja]

@mattt50 no it's Steve Stevens

[KrazaK87]

@hittingnote75 He clearly said in the description he wasn't sure. Get off your horse faggot.

[mrklr650a19]

@hittingnote75 and you being a lil bitch makes me think yer a faggot wanting to be poked up the shitter yer out of luck go find a boy friend on justin bieber site you fag

[Youknowit1981]

@mrklr650a19 oh be nice

[elfearwen]

C'est Steve Stevens qui joue, pas Eddie Van Halen, erreur !!!!

[9ls11]

I am sure this video will be removed!

[kreenuts]

This isn't Eddie dude.

[cydonianman]

it wasn't eddie or it would have been better.

[Guitarmazterful]

Steve stevens

[HomoSapien2012]

Somebody tell me who played the original version of this song, Steve Stevens or Eddie Van Halen ?

[DougScalioni]

@HomoSapien2012 Joe satriani

[GunnyHighwaye]

eddie was slated for this, but...he didnt show up

[brightflame87]

To all the men in TopGun...May God Bless you...And Thank you.

[sonofjesseband]

STEVE STEVENS NOT ONLY PLAYED THIS THEME SONG, BUT HE WAS AND IS BILLY IDOL'S GUITARIST OF CHOICE. HE ALSO RECORDED AND WENT ON TOUR WITH MICHAEL JACKSON SHORTLY AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THIS VIDEO.

WARNING NOT AFGHAN CHILDREN WERE HARMED IN THIS STATEMENT, JUST EDUCATED!!!!

[URnotUrindanger]

haha this is some funny shit

[guitargup]

@URnotUrindanger lol ha ha yes it is....mmm boy...god yeaah... ha ha

[Splimis]

Wasn't Eddie Goose? >_>

[t0nydrum]

this is not Eddie !!! is Steve Stevens!!! really good player !!! and style !!

[bobdy9988]

Did you know Eddie played Maverick in the film too? >.<

[hamthemad]

@bobdy9988 You moron, Tom Cruise played Maverick >.<

[bobdy9988]

@hamthemad I was ironically parodying the video title. That was meant sarcastically. You, sir, are the moron.

[hamthemad]

@bobdy9988 My bad, not very good at  sensing Sarcasm. Sorry.

[bobdy9988]

@hamthemad All good brother. Youtube huh? :)

[cowgirl699619966]

ALTHOUGH its not really Van Halen, thank you so much for putting up the video, we all make mistakes, its okay :P

[guitargup]

@cowgirl699619966 I agree.....funny though... in a good way,..and thanks, really, for giving all us players on here a good laugh, we actually needed it :)..Eddie is Steve's Idol and Steve is Eddie's Idol. They do definately sound similar

[Sovereign1023]

Successful troll is successful.

Good on you, bro.

[mortalkombat4life]

If you know now that it's not Eddie then change the fucking title retard.

[mortalkombat4life]

If you know now that it's not Eddie then change the fucking title retard.

[pandaeyes42]

Steve Stevens, fucknuckle!!!

[gromily]

Steve Stevens?  What a retarded name. Who does that to their child? Honestly!

[H057IL3]

@gromily It's not his real name.

[bigmaxy07]

@gromily I knew a kid in my year at school called James Bond. Now that's cruel.

[jsmithers587]

dear youtubenoob,

take it down

Sincerely,

america

[brushtraction]

steve stevens man

[leloelela]

Hey, FYI, this is Steve Stevens, not EVH.

So in case anyone was wondering, Steve Stevens.

[philippeherve]

it' s Steve Stevens, yes!!!!! It was the time of guitar hero it's because the sound looks like Van Halen and other but it's Steve Stevens......

[philippeherve]

it' s Steve Stevens, yes!!!!!

[Chaveydvdabn]

should probably take this down. You've probably caused many bets to go wrong. I feel sorry for the person that saw this video and actually continued a significant portion of their life believing Eddie Van Halen wrote this song. Plus you don't even have the entire song.

[jt2737]

this is Donny Osmond - TARDS!!!

Sorry El bronco I had to............CHEERS It is Steve Stevens from Billy Idol he was on the E show Married to Rock.

[jt2737]

Who is Steve Stevens was he in Poison?? Sounds like Joe Satriani, wait its Donny Osmond !!!! Sorry El bronco I had to............CHEERS

[1337Atian]

[TheUglyNigga]

[MrDmc1184]

[melomaniacify]

STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS!

STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS!

STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS! STEVE STEVENS!

[wafflecushioned]

Back in high school, there was this teacher who hated Top Gun and whenever he walked by my friends and I at lunch, my friend would play this on his electric guitar. The teacher rolled his eyes and shook his head every time. So funny.

[SkullfuxHeroes]

OMG! This is obviously Justin Beiber.. Eddie..

[Ebbeboy]

OMG! This is Eric Clapton! Not Eddie van Halen!

[dam097]

@Ebbeboy no....its not

[Ebbeboy]

@dam097 Not a big fan of sarcasm, are you? ;)

[TheKike432]

This Is Disrespect To Steve Stevens!!

[RedRocker9957]

OMG ITS STEVE STEVENS NOT EVH!

[MasterBlasterRGR]

This IS Neal Schon.

[megatallicanthrax]

This isnt steve stevens, or eddie, It's Top Gun. Fucktards.

[PotatoeShinz]

@megatallicanthrax idiot.

[1337Atian]

@megatallicanthrax yeah i know... but the musicans is the pianist and steve stevens

[ulsterranch]

Thumbs up if ya think the dude w@nks over Van Halen and he only WISHES he could play this fantastic song :)

[thefishdevil]

You need to do your research mate, this isn't Top Gun.

[ulsterranch]

@thefishdevil this is from Top Gun!

[rabidrabbott]

Maybe Eddie Van Halen is Steve Stevens. Either way, they are both still dangerous... You can be wing man anytime. GOOOOOOOOOOOSE! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[James2011Marine117]

You should of looked it up first. Steve Stevens.

[MrHansit0]

[MYBLOODYUSERNAMEFFS]

@MrHansit0 someone beat you to it months ago

[ericsoncountry]

[capusmc2001]

There's 2 O's in Goose

[DutchNewbJr]
